     View Summary

    顔を見ない日はないというくらい、「顔」は私達にとってあたり前の存在ですが、私達は一体どれほど「顔」のことを知っているのでしょうか。そのような「顔」を総合的に研究するのが「顔学」です。 顔学には、動物学や人類学をはじめ、解剖学、生理学、歯学、心理学、社会学の文化的な対象として扱われるだけでなく、演劇や美術などの芸術学、コンピュータの分野では、情報学、さらに、美容学、人相学など、実に多様な学問分野と関係しています。 本書では、私達と切り離すことのできない「顔」の、歴史的・文化的・社会的・科学的側面を中項目の事典としてまとめられていることにより、多様な分野を横断する知識にも容易にアクセスが可能になっています。 日本顔学会創立20周年記念出版として、「顔学」について体系化を行った、初めての百科事典です。

  • A Comprehensive Analysis of a Social Intelligence Dataset and Response Tendencies Between Large Language Models (LLMs) and Humans

    Mori E., Qiu Y., Kataoka H., Aoki Y.

    Sensors 25 ( 2 )  2025.01

     View Summary

    In recent years, advancements in the interaction and collaboration between humans and have garnered significant attention. Social intelligence plays a crucial role in facilitating natural interactions and seamless communication between humans and Artificial Intelligence (AI). To assess AI’s ability to understand human interactions and the components necessary for such comprehension, datasets like Social-IQ have been developed. However, these datasets often rely on a simplistic question-and-answer format and lack justifications for the provided answers. Furthermore, existing methods typically produce direct answers by selecting from predefined choices without generating intermediate outputs, which hampers interpretability and reliability. To address these limitations, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation of AI methods on a video-based Question Answering (QA) benchmark focused on human interactions, leveraging additional annotations related to human responses. Our analysis highlights significant differences between human and AI response patterns and underscores critical shortcomings in current benchmarks. We anticipate that these findings will guide the creation of more advanced datasets and represent an important step toward achieving natural communication between humans and AI.

  • DynamicVLN: Incorporating Dynamics into Vision-and-Language Navigation Scenarios

    Sun Y., Qiu Y., Aoki Y.

    Sensors 25 ( 2 )  2025.01

     View Summary

    Traditional Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) tasks require an agent to navigate static environments using natural language instructions. However, real-world road conditions such as vehicle movements, traffic signal fluctuations, pedestrian activity, and weather variations are dynamic and continually changing. These factors significantly impact an agent’s decision-making ability, underscoring the limitations of current VLN models, which do not accurately reflect the complexities of real-world navigation. To bridge this gap, we propose a novel task called Dynamic Vision-and-Language Navigation (DynamicVLN), incorporating various dynamic scenarios to enhance the agent’s decision-making abilities and adaptability. By redefining the VLN task, we emphasize that a robust and generalizable agent should not rely solely on predefined instructions but must also demonstrate reasoning skills and adaptability to unforeseen events. Specifically, we have designed ten scenarios that simulate the challenges of dynamic navigation and developed a dedicated dataset of 11,261 instances using the CARLA simulator (ver.0.9.13) and large language model to provide realistic training conditions. Additionally, we introduce a baseline model that integrates advanced perception and decision-making modules, enabling effective navigation and interpretation of the complexities of dynamic road conditions. This model showcases the ability to follow natural language instructions while dynamically adapting to environmental cues. Our approach establishes a benchmark for developing agents capable of functioning in real-world, dynamic environments and extending beyond the limitations of static VLN tasks to more practical and versatile applications.

  • Data Collection-Free Masked Video Modeling

    Ishikawa Y., Kondo M., Aoki Y.

    Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics) 15069 LNCS   37 - 56 2025

    ISSN  03029743

     View Summary

    Pre-training video transformers generally requires a large amount of data, presenting significant challenges in terms of data collection costs and concerns related to privacy, licensing, and inherent biases. Synthesizing data is one of the promising ways to solve these issues, yet pre-training solely on synthetic data has its own challenges. In this paper, we introduce an effective self-supervised learning framework for videos that leverages readily available and less costly static images. Specifically, we define the Pseudo Motion Generator (PMG) module that recursively applies image transformations to generate pseudo-motion videos from images. These pseudo-motion videos are then leveraged in masked video modeling. Our approach is applicable to synthetic images as well, thus entirely freeing video pre-training from data collection costs and other concerns in real data. Through experiments in action recognition tasks, we demonstrate that this framework allows effective learning of spatio-temporal features through pseudo-motion videos, significantly improving over existing methods which also use static images and partially outperforming those using both real and synthetic videos. These results uncover fragments of what video transformers learn through masked video modeling.

  • Unsupervised Metric Learning for Expressing Color and Shape Information to Uncover Abstract Connections within Image Datasets

    Obikane S., Tagawa H., Aoki Y.

    Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics) 15321 LNCS   15 - 30 2025

    ISSN  03029743

     View Summary

    In this research, we propose a novel approach using unsupervised metric learning tailored to datasets characterized by complex similarities and connections, such as those found in paintings and makeup, which are challenging to express linguistically. These datasets often present the difficulty of adequately analyzing data points due to the intricate interplay of defining elements, a limitation of traditional labeling methods. Additionally, the high degree of specialization required makes annotation significantly costly. Unsupervised metric learning emerges as a powerful method for extracting more cost-effective features and for the comprehensive analysis of these datasets. Expanding upon previous research that utilized style transfer models, our study further explores feature design, specifically focusing on extracting detailed information about critical aspects of similarity assessment, such as color and shape. Our model adeptly incorporates visual information, unveiling the hidden abstract connections within datasets. We validated our approach using a dataset of Ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese painting, and achieved accuracy comparable to supervised learning models. This research opens up new possibilities for the analysis of complex image datasets with abstract relational depth, fostering a deeper understanding of the data.

  • Rethinking Image Super-Resolution from Training Data Perspectives

    Ohtani G., Tadokoro R., Yamada R., Asano Y.M., Laina I., Rupprecht C., Inoue N., Yokota R., Kataoka H., Aoki Y.

    Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics) 15075 LNCS   19 - 36 2025

    ISSN  03029743

     View Summary

    In this work, we investigate the understudied effect of the training data used for image super-resolution (SR). Most commonly, novel SR methods are developed and benchmarked on common training datasets such as DIV2K and DF2K. However, we investigate and rethink the training data from the perspectives of diversity and quality, thereby addressing the question of “How important is SR training for SR models?”. To this end, we propose an automated image evaluation pipeline. With this, we stratify existing high-resolution image datasets and larger-scale image datasets such as ImageNet and PASS to compare their performances. We find that datasets with (i) low compression artifacts, (ii) high within-image diversity as judged by the number of different objects, and (iii) a large number of images from ImageNet or PASS all positively affect SR performance. We hope that the proposed simple-yet-effective dataset curation pipeline will inform the construction of SR datasets in the future and yield overall better models.
